A planned transfer of two aircraft carriers from the RN, HMCS Warrior and HMCS Magnificent, was slowed, and when Warrior was found to be unsuitable for a North Atlantic winter, she was sent to the west coast and next year was replaced by Magnificent, with the Warrior being given back.
Canada still had two heavy cruisers, HMCS Ontario and HMCS Uganda, a number of Tribal class and other destroyers, and a mass of frigates, corvettes, and other ships, the majority of which were mothballed by 1947.

 Iroquois class destroyer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iroquois-class destroyers are a class of four helicopter-carrying destroyers of the Canadian Navy.
There was some work on a replacement design, known to Navy-watchers as the Province-class destroyers, but this was confined largely to studies of a much-improved phased array radar system being developed for the Dutch and Germans, known as APAR.
Such a design would have similar capability to the Iroquois but with only one helicopter, and still be no match for the US's Arleigh Burke-class destroyer or the British Type 45 destroyer.

As a result, Iroquois' name was switched with that of the nearly-ready flotilla leader, Athabaskan, so that Iroquois could be launched first.
Commissioned in the RCN in November 1942, Iroquois first saw action escorting convoys to and from Gibraltar and later with a Royal Navy escort flotilla on the icy Murmansk run.
In 1972 a second Iroquois, DDH 280, one of the RCN's new Tribal Class helicopter destroyers, was launched, carrying on the Iroquois tradition: "Relentless in Chase".
